Book Description
Excerpt from The Monthly Journal of Foreign Medicine, Vol. 1: January to June, 1828 I have been a good deal surprised, since my arrival in Edinburgh, at observing, in the course of conversation with my protes sioual friends, how very generally the opinion obtains, that the more aggravated affections of the bones, periosteum, throat, and skin, which we were formerly accustomed to re gard as venereal, are in reality to be ascribed to the pernicious influence of mercury on the system, - ah opinion which is entirely at vari ance with the results of my own observation, during nearly twelve years' residence in a climate where this remedy is extensively em ployed. I must, therefore, with your per mission, avail myself of the ready channel af forded by your J ournal, and lay before the profession a summary of my experience, as it bears upon the point in question.
